REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date: December 5, 2022 <br />Item No.: c <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br />Item Description: Consider an Ordinance amending Chapter 314.05 adopting the 2023 Fee Schedule <br />1 B ACKGROUND <br />2 Each year the City Council is asked to adopt a Fee Schedule which establishes the fees and charges for service for <br />3 the City’s regulatory functions. The presence of a fee schedule allows regulatory-type fees to be easily identified <br />4 in one document, as opposed to being scattered throughout City Code. In addition, a fee schedule adopted on an <br />5 annual basis provides the Council the opportunity to review fees for services in a comprehensive manner. <br />6 <br />7 Over the past several months, Staff has reviewed the direct and indirect costs of these regulatory functions to <br />8 determine whether fee adjustments are necessary or if new fees should be established. Council reviewed proposed <br />9 changes at their November 7, 2022 meeting. <br />10 <br />11 All of the proposed changes are highlighted in yellow on the attached Fee Schedule, and generally reflect the need <br />12 to recover increased regulatory costs, staff time related to special requests, or development-related impacts on city <br />13 services. <br />14 <br />15 Departmental Staff will be on hand at the Council meeting to address the new fees or suggested changes. <br />16 <br />17 P OLICY O BJECTIVE <br />18 Adopting an annual fee schedule is consistent with governmental best practices and ensures that the City’s <br />19 regulatory functions are properly funded. <br />20 F INANCIAL I MPACTS <br />21 Based on the recommended fee adjustments, it is projected that revised fees will generate revenues sufficient to <br />22 cover the City’s added regulatory costs.
